Fashion designer Yoshikazu Yamagata, works to emotionally expand the concept of fashion and tackling big questions like those above. He stirred controversy with his collections at Japan Fashion Week, including “The Everyone’s New Clothes” which questioned what fashion was about, ”Graduate Fashion Show 0′ Point”, which showcased the strength of starting from zero in fashion and “The Fashion Show of The Gods”, his Spring/Summer 2010 collection, which examined the origins of creation, presented in October 2009.

I asked the subject of this week’s MOOKS Report, to give me three adjectives that describe a photograph? And he gave me two… not because he couldn’t conjure up a third, but because following rules isn’t really his style.

Growing up in the sun-drenched Karoo, amongst little cave crawlies and lanky desert birds that can’t fly, Chris Slabber sees Cape Town as a place of wonder and surprise. Like a kid in a theme park, everything is a joyride. Aside from the “bergie” (homeless dude with a passion gap that is always drunk and shouting “Jou ma se POES” to his/her fellow bergies) waiting around each of Cape Town’s corner, is a world of opportunity and sensory indulgence. Each day comes wrapped in potential.
